In 1938 he set jl home run record for Cincinnati players when he belted pitches out of the loop parks. And he twice led the senior league ir. three base hits. Keen Student During his big league career, Goodman, who was considered a keen student Of he game, played under such outstanding managers as Billy Southworth, Charley Dressen, Bill McKechnie. Charlie Grimm and Jimmy Wilson.

During his playing career Goodman followed the usual pattern for ball players not actively engaged in baseball during the winter months. He spent practically all of his off season time at home or outdoors. The former star, who is married and has three children, is a great outdoor sportsman and hunted and. fished as much as possible. Since closing his National league playing career, however, Goodman has purchased a theatre in his hom town in Cincinnati and has spent most of his off-season time working there.

While no indication was made as to whether or not Goodman would attempt to fill a spot in the Buc line-up, it is not likely that he will do more than fill an occasional pinch-hit role. The former slugging star, now in his fortieth year, underwent an operation last year whkh practically forced him to call a halt to his active career. Started With Shawnee Goodman, who broke in with Shawnee, Okla. in the old Western association in 1930. enjoyed a long, colorful and successful diamond career on his way to the top.

Moving around the Western loop Goodman put in the seasons of 1931 and '32 with the Fort Smith. Ark. and Bartlesville. Okla, entries before moving up to Columbus, Ohio, in the American association late in the 1932 campaign. In 1933 Goodman was back with Houston in the Texas loop but before the season was over he had climbed back up to Rochester in the International league.

At Rochester Goodman rounded out the 1933 season and put in a full year in '31 before catchi.ig the eyes of the Cincinnati scouts and moving ip for his big chance with the Rhinelanders. Goodman, who is of English-Irish descent, was oorn in North-view Mo. on July 23. 1908.
